can distance be zero while the displacement is nonzero? what about the reverse?

Sagot :

displacement is stopping point minus starting point. distance traveled is the total amount of distance covered. so, the answer is yes to the first question. (displacement can be zero but distance cannot ). the second question is no; you cannot have no movement and still have displacement.
